AuthCredential implementations missing about firebase-dart HOT 5 CLOSED

@marcojakob – please file an issue here - https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/new

I'll see what I can learn internally...

from firebase-dart.

@marcojakob Thanks for that, I will take a look.

@marcojakob I believe AuthCredential is meant to be opaque.

Looking at the JS API, I don't see anything exposed in the way you suggest - https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.auth.AuthCredential

I know it's frustrating, but if we try to expose fields that aren't in the official JS API, we risk random breakage by exposing implementation details.

@kevmoo This is the only place I found to get hold of the GitHub Access Token (if you know some other way, please let me know). I need this to make API requests to the GitHub API.

It actually is mentioned in the JS API in the example of GithubAuthProvider. There is the following line:

    // This gives you a GitHub Access Token.
    var token = result.credential.accessToken;

I think access to to the token at that point is clearly intended and needed. Maybe it is something that should be added to the JS API documentation. In AuthCredential there is a sentence that sais Implementations specify the details but these details cannot be found in the docs. I think they should be added to the Firebase docs.

Hi all, Any update on this? We can see from the JS SDK that the AuthCredential has extra "Optional" fields such as idTokens and accessToken... I need access to those after the identification in order to store them on my servers for further calls...

@kevmoo I will work on an implementation on this this, unless you see another way to get those idtokens and accesstokens?

thanks,
